555 Brewery is located in Picton and has been around since 2017. The first time I went there was 2019 and they had this brew at that time. It is part of their mainstay of beers, The Judge, The Jury and The Verdict…. There could also be The Trial” thrown in there, but...
I was talking to Farmer Steve the other day and he thinks agriculture is a real growth industry. I told him I thought that was a home groan.* This small can brew pours golden with a nice bubbly thin white head. It has a fresh slightly hoppy aroma. First swig had nice...
Father's day is a day to appreciate your father and all the life lessons he taught you. In that spirit I have been inspired by mine to take my beer drinking more seriously and share my opinion on the internet. As a COMDB in training I hope that I can continue to get...
I prefer an IPA but when one isn't available this little pale ale is just for me. It has a golden amber clear colour. Very flavourful dry taste that tickles the palette. Love the creamy head.

Maclays Scottish Pale Ale, from the storied Scottish highlands. Maclays coat of arms on the can. Scottish flag on the can. Thistle Brewery. More Scottish than Sean Connery and Ewan McGregor playing golf together. How could you get more Scottish than that? But wait a...
On another adventure with Muskoka Mad Tom, this time he is in the desert with a canteen full of this hazy pale ale. Me, I'm scorching steaks on a unseasonably hot evening and a frosty pale ale seemed to make all kinds of sense, although a chilled glass won out over a...
When I saw the name Chicken Man I immediately thought of Colonel Sanders*. However, the legend of the Chicken Man according to Furnace Brewery is of a Georgetown Ontario resident who used to ride around on his bike (looks like an Amsterdam 3 Speed to me) with his...
Out on the deck, nice warm spring evening and I am firing up the ol’ BBQ. Time to check out some sage advice from “The COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing”* It says that well done is well done, and never skimp on the sauce (BBQ or beer). It also reminds us that a...
